A retired Colonel Obi has said that the Labour Party and its Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi abandoned her after she was shot by thugs during the 2023 presidential election.
Obi who said this during an interview with PUNCH Newspaper,said she was shot by a thug at the polling unit during the presidential election.
She said , “it was a painful experience. I was a Peter Obi supporter. I made a lot of sacrifices during the electioneering but was abandoned after the attack while defending the Labour Party at the polling unit.
Further narrating the incident, she said, “I was in my village in the Ideato South Local Government Area of Imo State to participate in the election. On the day of the House of Assembly election, I went to cast my vote at my polling unit, Ward 1.
“Somehow, I noticed that something was wrong; when anyone wanted to vote for the Labour Party, one of the INEC officials on the ground would take his hand and ensure that the person voted for the APC. So, I told them to allow people to vote freely. Later, some thugs started beating the LP agent there and I intervened. A guy then approached me and said they had been observing me in the community. He said they saw how I gave rice to people and that I was busy promoting the LP. I didn’t know when he brought out a gun from his bag and shot at my leg. When I recovered, I went to the police station.”
